This website will serve to educate the general public on Black people and the Stuff That Black People Don't Like. Black people have many interesting eccentricities, which include disliking a litany of everyday events, places, household objects and other aspects of their everyday life.
Black people are an interesting subject matter and this website will chronicle the many problems in life that agitate this group of people.

It tells the story of a biracial gathering of Atlanta’s civic and religious leaders to honor Martin Luther King’s receiving of the Nobel Peace Prize. To be held in late January 1965, Coke patriarch Robert Woodruff “politely persuaded” Atlanta’s white business community to attend the event, for the event would have represented a “worldwide embarrassment for Coca-Cola and for Atlanta” had they no-showed:

The night of the dinner, King delivered to a standing-room only, integrated audience what would become one of his most famous quotes: “If people of good will of the white South fail to act now, history will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the vitriolic words and then the violent actions of the bad people but the appalling silence of and indifference of the good people.”

All segments of Atlanta society were there: churches and synagogues, government, private universities and business, all working together, as [Sam] Massell (Atlanta’s last white mayor) recalled, for their “mutual interest.” That is Connected Capitalism. (p. 213-215)

Connected Capitalism.

A perfect term for the actions of the Managerial Elite (Disingenuous White Liberals in perfectly tailored suits) who preside over Black-Run America, who no longer have any allegiance to a nation-state (any) that they have so busily deconstructed.

No Mr. King, history will not judge those “people of good will” you excoriated to get on their knees so as to allow Black people to jump on their backs, pocketing the loose change that falls from this noble gesture in the process.

After all, isn’t that what Connected Capitalism is?

We saw what Connected Capitalism was capable of in 1981, when the then stewards of Coca-Cola capitulated to Jesse Jackson (one of MLK’s right-hand men) over a threatened boycott. The late Lewis Grizzard, a columnist for the Atlanta Journal Constitution, wrote these words on the surrender:

When the Rev. Jesse Jackson of Operation PUSH took on Coca-Cola, I figured he had written a check his admittedly considerable power as a black leader couldn’t cash.

You might take on 7Up, but Coke is the big dog in the soft drink market. I fully expected Coke to flip Jesse Jackson off its back with one sweep of its powerful tail.

Either I underestimated Jackson or I overestimated Coca-Cola. The word came the other day that Coke had made a $30 million deal with Jackson to do more business with blacks.

Coke denied that Jackson’s threat to lead a black boycott of its products had anything to do with the deal. “We were going to do this all the time; we’re just no getting to around to it,” said a cokesperson.

Sure.

What Jesse Jackson did was as simple as a liquor-store heist: He blackmailed a huge American company into giving him what he wanted. Meet my demands, or I’ll snap my fingers and my loyal subjects won’t even say the words “Coca-Cola” until I tell them to.

What Jackson did to Coke was essentially the same: Come across, or else.

In the largest settlement ever in a racial discrimination case, the Coca-Cola Company agreed yesterday to pay more than $156 million to resolve a federal lawsuit brought by black employees.

The settlement also mandates that the company make sweeping changes, costing an additional $36 million, and grants broad monitoring powers to a panel of outsiders -- an unusual concession in employment discrimination cases.

The lawsuit, filed in April 1999, accused Coke of erecting a corporate hierarchy in which black employees were clustered at the bottom of the pay scale, averaging $26,000 a year less than white workers. As redress, the settlement provides as many as 2,000 current and former black salaried employees with an average of $40,000 in cash, while the four plaintiffs whose names are on the lawsuit will receive up to $300,000 apiece.

''It sets a new standard for corporate settlements,'' said the Rev. Jesse Jackson, referring to Coke's agreement to tie executives' salaries to how well the company meets its diversity goals. ''The internal cultures of companies have been built on patterns of exclusion based on gender and race. This is a step in the right direction.''Despite the short-term costs, a negligible amount for a company with about $20 billion in sales last year, Coke officials and plaintiffs' lawyers characterized the settlement as a ''business necessity,'' particularly because minorities in the United States drink a disproportionate share of its sodas.

''This company had a credibility gap between the image that it cultivated with the African-American community on the outside and how African-Americans were treated on the inside,'' said Cyrus Mehri, a plaintiffs' lawyer who negotiated a $140 million cash settlement in a discrimination suit against Texaco in 1996.

While efforts by disgruntled Coke employees in Atlanta to start a boycott never crimped the company's bottom line, the lawsuit has troubled Coke for 18 months and, company officials acknowledge, tarnished the image of one of the world's best-known brands.

History will judge that the greatest tragedy of that period of social transition that Mr. King bemoaned was the capitulation of Connected Capitalism to BRA. Coca-Cola fell in line behind the pied-piper who touted a society where “content of character” mattered above all else; but a society based firmly on the promotion of Blackness was erected in its place.

Well, that, and the promotion of whites to the Managerial Elite who bow in delirious obsequiousness to this objective.

The wasted capital that could have gone to building infrastructure, research and development, cure diseases, and further space exploration instead was diverted to uplift a segment of the American population who remade Detroit into their image.

And Birmingham. And Memphis. And Baltimore. And Cleveland. And New Orleans.

The ecological impact to the continued need to build new suburbs (and infrastructure to support this in terms of roads, sewage facilities, etc.) to escape the ever-widening reach of the Black Hole that is Atlanta is incalculable. The misplaced capital and investments (and opportunity costs) involved in this process fall in the same category.

No Dr. King, it is the appalling silence of and indifference of the good people now to the totality of the failure of BRA and the horrible consequences of those “people of good will of the white South” who did act on your behalf that history will record as the great tragedy.

We could have been on Mars, but instead, we have Detroit, circa 2012, and hundreds of other US cities well on their way to being Detroit-ed.

They represent the Sunk Cost of BRA; the ruins of Detroit represent actual manifestation of the good will of the white South fail to act now.

This is the real legacy of the Civil Rights movement.

This is the shame of “people of good will of the white South” whose legacy is the complete collapse of Birmingham and the turning of Atlanta into a Black Mecca that has been completely subsidized by white tax-dollars.

With crime dominating the local headlines and budget cuts looming, the Detroit City Council President Pro Tem Gary Brown, a former police officer, is suggesting restructuring the city's police department.......

It bears consideration regarding how Coca-Cola's knuckling under to race baiting wannabe warlord pimp Jesse Jackson both emboldened him and cemented his credentials as shakedown artiste extraordinaire.

Had Coca-Cola flipped "Jesse Jackson off its back with one sweep of its powerful tail", the trajectory of this career extortionist might have been entirely different.

After all, just how disproportionate could the consumption patterns of a small population segment like that of Black people be in terms of overall consumption of Coca-Cola products?

Blacks seem to prefer far more sweetened beverages like double-dosed Kool-Aid, sweet tea and their legendary "grape drank". Especially so back in the 1980s when, as I recall, food stamps could not yet be used to purchase sodas.

If avoiding high fructose corn sweetener wasn't enough reason by itself to halt consumption of most carbonated beverages, then boycotting Coca-Cola products for their shameless kowtowing to BRA is. Much as I, too, once enjoyed Coca-Cola, I will drink it even less frequently now.

Where are the bean counters for Coke. 20 billions in sale reports this article and negroes are 12% of our population. Unless my calculations are wrong that's $240 million in sales if blacks buy Coke in one year and the lawsuit cost Coke $200 million. That's almost a break even point assuming that court cost's are high.

I am in the process of leaving the Atlanta metro area for multiple reasons. At the present time I am applying for jobs in the city that my family will be relocating to.

I just finished submitting my resume to an established company, but there was a sentence at the bottom of the application page that has me confused. The statement was as follows:

***** is an Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Employer.

I think the above statement perfectly illustrates absurdity. How is it possible to have race-based employment practices and still call yourself and "Equal Opportunity Employer". If it was possible to retract my resume, then I would do so. I can only imagine the corporate culture nightmare that this company operates within.

I know the family directly descended from Esa Candler (the man who invented the Coke brand) and they would never let blacks dictate what the company does if they were still in control of it. If you look at the people who founded many of the great (or formerly great) companies before the 1960's, you would see a stark difference in the way they approached race than what the CEO's and such do today. Take for example the Ford Foundation... Mr. Ford definitely wouldn't approve of their liberal, non-American, and race-driven actions of today.

I'm a bit vague on it,but didn't Jesse,among other transgressions, try to shake somebody down who wouldn't play ball?Off the top of my head I'm going to say it was the Southland Corporation(7-11) who compiled a dossier on Jackson to head off his extortion attempt.Does anyone know anyspecifics? Along with Coca-Cola,Anheuser-Busch folded,also.Jesse's son ended up with a Chicagoland distributorship.

Have the government give negroes section 8 free housing, government jobs, free money and other free stuff. That way they will have some money left over to buy Coke's addictive, cancer and diabetes causing product.

You see, YT's tax dollars give the negroes moolah to buy crap from capitalists. That is how it is all connected.

Glad to see you branching out into this area, PK. As with the whole opiate of sportz racket, there is a vast infrastructure supporting the existence and the advancement of BRA and its attendant black undertow. The folks who run the infrastructure are the elite DWLs - the one-percenters who are guilty of the twin capital crimes of treason and genocide for vast profit. Coca-Cola should be added to the list suitable targets.

Magnifico: Time for my family to boycott Coke-a-Cola. One family at a time.

Where are the bean counters for Coke. 20 billions in sale reports this article and negroes are 12% of our population. Unless my calculations are wrong that's $240 million in sales if blacks buy Coke in one year and the lawsuit cost Coke $200 million. That's almost a break even point assuming that court cost's are high.

It would have been easier to tell Jesse to fuck out.

There might be more to the story financially. For example, was CC in debt to the vampire-squids? Were they on the hook with them in some them way? The great market bottleneck is Wall Street - which is of course part of the plan. No stocks are sold, nor bonds - unless the mark of VS is upon one's hand and forehead. Just last year, His Holiness the Right Rev. St. Jesse the lesser adulterer was invited to speak to a squid confab by one of their biggest bloodsuckers: Lloyd 'Doin' God's Work' Blankfein of Goldman-Sachs. Both of the mountebank-ministers of BRA, the Revs. Jesse and Al, are quite popular in squidville, which was once referred to as "Hymietown" by His Holiness St. Jesse. Funny how he managed to completely skate on that one. If Billy Graham would have used a term like that, the FBI would have sent Lon Horiuchi to 'accidentally' blow his head off with a high-powered rifle.

Southfox I am going to say it happened in Silicon Valley as well. He went shaking down all the big names you can think of and they him, politely of course, to f*** off back to under whatever rock he crawled out from under.

Not only Coca-Cola but Boeing has paid unbelievable sums of protection money to Jackson and Co., as outlined here:

http://www.adversity.net/c33_boeing.htm

I blogged on this subject this week ('Hunting the Yeti: Institutional Racism in the 21st Century'), and it is truly impressive to see how the tables have turned: Once legitimately excluded, Afros in America today are praised, pandered to, and paid off in the way one would an occupying army. It would be interesting to add up all the danegeld coughed up since 1965; it's no doubt an astounding sum.

'There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs – partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.'

When and if we can stop drinking HFCS that will be a major day. The stuff degrades cognitive function in rats, and being overweight contributes any number of negative physical and psychological issues.

"After all, just how disproportionate could the consumption patterns of a small population segment like that of Black people be in terms of overall consumption of Coca-Cola products?"

They were worried about dwls not buying coke, and they need not have. it is quite addictive, and it takes serious impulse control to stop addiction. There is no way any group that would get up in arms over them telling bra to pound sand has any of that.

To Anon- Was this White African on the rocket or capsule design? As I understand it, the two activites were pretty much seperated. Either way, I'd love someone to break that news to a black. The switch from pride in a "fellow african" to rage at YT would be instantaneous.

About the Affirmitive action/Equal Opportunities notice: I missed out on a job once because the final question of the interview was "Why is diversity important in the workplace?" I didn't say anything.. incorrect, but my 'you've got to be shitting me' face didn't help.

As for Coke, well, how much of Coke's sales are to fellow 365Black company McDonald's?

AP WASHINGTON -- Pepsi Beverages Co. has agreed to pay $3.1 million to settle federal charges of race discrimination for using criminal background checks to screen out job applicants -- even if they weren't convicted of a crime.

They have also paid Jesse Jackson in the past.

I much prefer my own homemade sweet tea to any of that garbage anyway.

If anyone needs another reason to stop drinking coke, here's one. I stopped drinking coke 2 months ago. I have slept like a baby every night since then. I was a two to three coke a day drinker for years and suffered consistent insomnia. I'm convinced that the ingredients in coke were responsible for it. Maybe I should look for a lawyer.

"The lawsuit, filed in April 1999, accused Coke of erecting a corporate hierarchy in which black employees were clustered at the bottom of the pay scale, averaging $26,000 a year less than white workers. As redress, the settlement provides as many as 2,000 current and former black salaried employees with an average of $40,000 in cash, while the four plaintiffs whose names are on the lawsuit will receive up to $300,000 apiece."

I wonder what they did with all of that money. Surely they invested it back into their own communities, tithed their churches and/or otherwise used that money to obtain better housing or stashed it away in some mutual funds.

Surely that must be the case, for anyone who is a supporter of Jesse Jackson is a both a steward of wealth and a benefactor to their community.

Jeff!: As for Coke, well, how much of Coke's sales are to fellow 365Black company McDonald's?

Great question!

According to the 1995 book McDonalds - Behind the Arches, if the food franchise's global purchasing of Coca-Cola syrup was rated as a separate nation, McDonald's would rank ninth among all other countries.

Since it is available as a free download, I strongly urge people to capture this entertaining and useful book. While it was written with the company's permission and can seem a bit too glowing at times, in every chapter there is at least one nugget of managerial or business information that you can take to the bank.

The book's first chapter contains some statistics that, as quoted, one Price, Waterhouse, Cooper executive mentioned "simply did not compute". Such as: (circa 1995)

The ketchup used by McD's would fill the Mississippi River several times.

In any major American urban center there is a McD's within less than three minutes driving time.

McD's has trained more people than the US Army.

One in seven people got their first job at McD's.

Moreover, McD's single-handedly invented the frozen French fry, the fish sandwich and the cryogenically frozen beef patty. Dubious though those achievements might seem, in their time, they revolutionized the fast food industry.

One thing is certain, Ray Kroc, (who once fired an account executive for wearing white socks), would never have tolerated TNB for a millisecond. The original McD's was a boots-on-the-ground organization of people, often without college degrees, that typically consisted of franchise owners and onetime operators.

Most poignant, is how this book chronicles the transition of McD's board of directors from being populated by seasoned owner-operators over to a clusterf&%k of the current executive gold standard; Harvard MBAs. This was personally confirmed to me by a contractor I once met, who had worked building McD outlets for many years.

McD's original strategy changed the landscape of fast food franchises. Unlike Chicken Delight and Dairy Queen, McD's did not try to derive the majority of their profit from selling foodstuffs to their operators. Instead, McD's got most of their revenue from renting the property that the restaurants were built upon. Their careful process of site selection (i.e., near freeway off ramps, left turn access into a parking lot with more than one entrance, corner locations, etc.) was a brilliant way of popularizing the McD product without milking outlet owners like the last cow on the farm.

In fact, when McD's became supreme in the industry, one of their biggest pushes was to buy back those locations that owned their own property. That is how crucial the land-ownership strategy was to McD's profitability.

Again, download and read this amazing book. Kroc was a milkshake machine salesman who saw and understood what he was seeing when he witnessed the McDonald brothers operating their first Southern California location (with lines around the block), and took the idea to the global market in ways that most other companies only can dream about. And he did much of it on a handshake basis.

Some final anecdotes. Kroc approached Kraft about making a cheese single that had a richer gold color to look more like real Cheddar. Kraft scoffed at the presumptious request of this, then, small time business owner. Many years later Kraft had crawl back to Kroc on its knees to get the McD account.

When Kroc needed paper products he went to one small company (Lily?) and made a handshake deal with them. This company's loyalty allowed them to hold the McD's account for decades, making millionaires out of their executives in the process.

All in all a great read about, what was once, a real American business icon now fallen far from its original stature.

Dammit. I love Coke. I really like the glass bottles you can get from Sam's Club. The ones made in Mexico with real sugar, not high-fructose corn syrup.

I remember watching a fascinating show on a Coke bottling plant. Everyone that worked there was white. It was a marvel. Everything moved like clockwork. Glass bottles being filled and shipped, no fat black women loafing around. Of course, this plant was in Spain.

I simply don't understand why these companies pander so damn much to blacks. If every black in the US boycotted Coke, It wouldn't be noticed at all. You can literally go into any nation on this planet and get a Coke product. I just don't understand.

Anonymous said... Russia is planning to build bases on the moon: http://blogs.nature.com/news/2012/05/russia-japan-aim-for-the-moon.html

Clearly they don't have a Negro population to deal with.

In fact, Russians know exactly how to treat Negro's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=x1C_NWMRs8Q

Absolutely true and in both countries they are not tolerated whatsoever. The Japanese are highly xenophobic to begin with and they view blacks as just above savages, I'm guessing there is a reason for this... my cousin lives there permanently so tells me much about the mindset there regarding this. Ditto for China who will achieve space successes quite soon too with their massive influx of cash and culture that promotes education and cohesive societal values.

As for Eastern Europe and Russia, I have posted here before that these are places I'm intimately familiar with. You do NOT see blacks in these parts of the world and the ones that do are the most well behaved beings you may have ever encountered. Always knowing they are "other" and viewed as such. Walking into most countries in Eastern Europe is absolutely surreal for most Americans who are Awake.

Turning the question back on the interviewer might not be a bad idea in that situation. As for my response, I mostly hemmed and hawed and threw together something about 'varied viewpoints' and "approaches to problem solving". Not a breath about race/ethnic origin.

I did get a job there a few weeks later, after interveiwing for a different opening. I was prepared for the diversity question that time!

And once I was there, damn. As your original comment on Affirmative action insinuated, you really can't have any sort of equality with that in place. Fresh out of college hires were all minorities, and mostly black at that. Where I was at it was sort of schizoid. About 10 years ago, this company was bought out by a West Coast company. So high up decisions were very..Liberal, especially with regards to hiring. The experienced supervisors and low-level managers are from the old company, and have little patience and less respect for the BRA type policies.

Elon Musk was the white South African immigrant that founded Spacex, which earlier this week launched the spacecraft into orbit. It is unmanned on this flight which will carry supplies to the space station. Later flights will be manned.

Musk is the chief designer of both the rocket and spacecraft. His ultimate goal is to make human travel to Mars feasible.

I discovered that the Coke made in the US does contain cane sugar if it is kosher since the high fructose is not kosher lol

When I wasin Spain a very long time ago and Franco was still in office you couldn't get Coke because they thought it contained drugs.Coke actually still is flavoured with coca leaf but the cocaine is extracted first and is probably just used in medicine.

Ray Kroc's widow was very wealthy of course and when she died she left 1.7 Billion dollars (yes a billion!) to the Salvation Army, the largest charitable donation ever.I'm not religious but for some reason I trust these people in the Army.Certainly better than some endowment or "charity" where the directors take large salaries and little goes to actual charity.

Big Bear: Zenster: Informative post on McDonalds; however, I must point out that the frozen french fry was a product of the Boise-based JR Simplot company, particularly a chemist named Ray Dunlap, in 1953.

Thank you for clarifying about J. R. Simplot. His story is amazing and, as I recall, covered to some degree in the book I mention. However, McDonald's also did extensive research into the frozen French fry, to the extent of inserting thermocouples into fries while they cooked in the oil.

Prior to introduction of frozen fries, McDonald's also obliged potato suppliers to change their method of distribution because of how fresh potatoes have a different balance of starch to moisture compared to ones that have been dry aged. Simplot and other potato suppliers had to create storage cellars in order to provide the best French fry spuds.

In another vein (or clogged artery, as the case may be), I thoroughly commend your strategy of not supporting heavily advertised products. There was some other short book about food, themed much like "Nutrition in 100 Words" (hat tip: Letters from Galt's Gulch), that tersely advised, "Do not eat anything you see advertised on television".

Quite simply, for a food product to reach the level of being advertised on television, it must be so preprocessed, shelf stabilized, preserved and reduced in COG (Cost of Goods) that what you are being fed has little semblance to actual food.

Thanks for the reply and I'm glad you were able to find employment, even though the culture you described can be a waking nightmare.

It sounded like your answer to the original interview question was a good answer - the "problem solving" and "differing points of view" . It certainly wasn't bad by any means. It's tough to control body language, however, which I am sure interiewers are trying to read.

I'm not in a position to be too picky at the present time, so I will likely have to work in a corporate environment for a while, but, for me, nothing beats a smaller company that does not feel compelled to advertise such conflicting policies (e.g. Affirmative Action + Equal Opportunity Employment).

Bubo at 12:36 AM: Ray Kroc's widow also gave a pile of money to "People For the American Way", a crew of leftist scum. I suppose they've paid all that cash to themselves as salaries, as I've not heard from them in years.
